Olusegun Obasanjo's Hopes on Youth

He said despite challenges, he was hopeful that Africa and indeed Nigeria have youths who possess “intellectual prowess and ingenuity capable of leading Africa to the promised land.”

He said, “Enough of using other people’s children as experimental subjects and keeping ours in safe havens. Enough of using other people’s children as political thugs and ballot box snuffers, while we send ours to Ivy League schools.

 “Enough of thinking we know what is right for young people without their input or the courtesy of asking for their opinions.

 “If constitutional changes are required, let us begin now. If policies and political party structures have to change, let us begin now. Of what use is a law that allows young people contest a particular office only to be confronted with the hurdle of outrageously exorbitant cost of party nomination forms and campaign costs?

“I see hope that the future of Africa is in the hands of its youths. I see hope of a continent where the creative energies, intellectual prowess and ingenuity of our youths are capable to lead us to our promised land. I see hope in the courage of our youths to hold government accountable and their resistance to tyranny and despotism.”

Potentials for Economic Growth

“The economy of Lagos cannot be that productive to improve the GDP if there are no people with good conscience and this is what this fellowship stands for.

“It is not enough for you to have resources, it is not enough for you to have people that can improve productivity but again there are people who have to be drivers to arrive at the GDP or the kind of nation that we want,” he said.

Ambode said since his assumption of office in the last three and half years, concerted efforts had been made to ensure religious harmony and also create greater enabling environment for businesses to thrive.

“All we do as a government is just to ensure that we create an enabling environment for people to practice religion without interference and at the same time greater enabling environment for them to do their businesses.

“So, when we combine good businesses and good religious conscience, obviously the nation will grow and then the nation will develop,” Ambode said.
